Businesses often have operations that require their employees to move around and visit different sites to carry out their routine tasks. In such situations, it becomes really hard to track where they are and what they are doing. Obviously, you can’t tell if an employee is doing full 8 hours duty every day or not unless you have a well laid out mechanism for that.

It definitely isn’t great to find that your sales have been declining over the past six months, and this month has been lower than ever. Your first reaction would be to figure out what went wrong. This means taking a closer look at the way your sales team is operating and where things may have slipped through the cracks.

There’s a lot more to time tracking than logging your hours into a timesheet. Time tracking allows you gather data that could do wonders for your employee productivity, efficiency, and motivation without having to use a whole lot of resources.

A lot of businesses prefer to not track time, citing reasons such as not wanting to micromanage or being slowed down. Oftentimes, it’s viewed as a bothersome administrative task, and one that may inhibit the creativity and focus of your team.
